Would the fact that I brought it all the way up, with the motor running, using the trailering switch in the water have any bearing? I would not respond at all immediately after that. I will check for loose/dirty connections. Thanks.
Have a 2000 Sea Ray 180 /Mercruiser 3.0. Recently had to go into shallow shore to pick up a passenger. Used trailering trim to get outdrive as far up as I could. When I headed back out I could not trim the outdrive down. Would no respond at all. I shut down, re-started a couple of times and then...
Got the steering wheel delivered yesterday and everything is perfect. It is slightly bigger than the old one but the adaptor puts it a little further from the dash which gives more leg room under it. It looks beautiful on the boat. Glad I came here with the question. Have a safe Summer everyone!

Have learned a lot in two days about steering wheels. Now know the tricks at getting old wheel off. Did it and ready for the new one. Followed Tonka...
I had to take my car in for service today and asked the mechanic, who had a boat for years, what he thought. He said he couldn't be sure but offered to look at the boat steering setup because he has replaced steering wheels on autos. Think I will run it in to him first chance I get. May be a...

I have a 2000 Sea Ray 180 that's in beautiful condition. Although my steering wheel is also in great condition I saw a wooden auto steering wheel I would love to replace it with. Has anyone done this? Not looking for a big...
Sven, That is exactly where I mounted mine on a 180. I did not drill any holes. Used strong, double sided tape. Don't usually boat at night in waters I am not familiar with so did not wire it in for the light.
OUCH! This is going to run me around $125.00. She even took a large piece of tint, sprayed the windshield with soapy water, placed it on the curve and smoothed it out t be sure it could be done. She has done much bigger boat windows.
Spoke with the tint installer. Showed her a picture of the windshield. She wasn't sure she could do it because of the big curve of the 180 windshield or if she could do it in one piece. No place to hide a seam. So I brought the boat to her. After looking it over and finding it was Taylor Made...
More for the look than anything else. Have seen a few boats online with it done and looks pretty sharp. Do look over as much as through.....for sure! Would have the same gal who did my vehicle do it.
Thinking about tinting the windshield on my 180 Bowrider. Any thoughts, suggestions or if you have done it..... would like to know before I do it. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Some good suggestions. I thought about a handheld but like the idea of a permanent install with longer range and tied into my GPS. Will be boating on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH this summer. (21 miles long, 9 miles wide, 69 sq. miles) Usually on...
